In a column for the Washington Post, columnist Matt Bai laid out a way for Kamala Harris to rile up Donald Trump during their looming debate.
Trump, whose campaign has been in free fall since Kamala Harris entered the race, has a lot of pressure on him to win the upcoming debate. The former president knows it won't be easy as Harris is a former prosecutor who is extremely skilled in debate.
While some argue that Harris should try to take Trump apart, the Washington Post scribe believes that the Vice President should take the opportunity to promote himself.
Bai writes, "I'd put all my energy, instead, into embodying generational change and the modern American story, as she did so ably at the convention. Talk about your mixed race, your mother, your hope for all of our daughters. When Trump blusters, brush him off gently like a cranky old neighbor who has forgotten to take his pills."
The analyst continued, "Voters don’t need to see contempt and moral posturing from Harris. They want a candidate who can respond to craziness with grace, warmth, humor and confidence — all the things Trump so painfully lacks. They want someone to get us unstuck from a long moment of useless fury."
